AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contractfor 2011 GrapeLine Bus Stop Improvements
Project
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2011 GrapeLine bus stop
improvements project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to A.M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc.,
of Lodi, in the amount of $53,059 on December 21, 2011. The contract
has been completed in substantial conformance with the specifications
approved by City Council on October 19,2011.
This project consisted of constructing improvements at five bus stop locations on the GrapeLine's fixed -
route bus system. Bus shelters with benches and amenities were installed at all five locations, and new
concrete was placed at four locations to accommodate the shelter. The final cost of the project was
$53,958. The difference between the contract price and the final price is due to a difference in the
projected lineal feet of concrete retaining wall and the actual amount needed to complete the project.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to inform vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and to initiate the 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs
associated with these improvements, which will be included in future
Transit Operations budgets.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Federal Transit Administration (CA -90-Y565
grant) and Transportation Development Act funds.
